When is the socially acceptable time to go to sleep today? (1 Viewer)

[Day]

I couldn't sleep last night so I didn't end up falling asleep until maybe 5AM and woke up at 7:30AM for class now it's almost 5PM and I really want to go to sleep but that seems like a bad idea bc my two moods are either 1. sleep for 4 hours or 2. sleep for 12 hours and also 3. I cannot fall asleep without pills and 4. I have a big big assignment due in two days (at 9am might I add) that I need to work on really bad and I just know that tomorrow I'm not going to want to do it, I'll end up putting it off and then staying up until early AM of the day it's due in order to complete it and then 5. the cycle of no sleep continues.

Should I just stay up? Does anyone have any words of encouragement?

I don’t miss my school days, that’s my main takeaway from this
But it may be hard to convince yourself to do it now, but think about how good you’ll feel when you finish it before the due date even, and leaving yourself time to sleep properly. Hopefully that can help you work on it at least a little bit, knowing the reward it can give you.

sleep and work on it right when you wake up imo

I know you're right. Thank you Vikki if I can just crank out this outline tomorrow I can work on my presentation, timing, and wrap up this speech to be good for Wednesday.

I'm afraid to sleep, next thing I know time has passed and I'm itching closer to the deadline I'm not prepared for

Hm, you have some options.

Idk what kind of assignment it is, but you can start it in your tired state and fix any errors tomorrow. And take breaks while you work.
Or get 4 hours of sleep then start it.
Or sleep for 12 hours because you are tired and it is what it is.

by two days do you mean the 16th?

How about if you don't fall asleep in 10 min, you stay up and work on it rather than waste time trying to fall asleep

I think the only option is to grind the assignment out so that tomorrow can be a review/reorganize/finalize day. Unfortunately, this means I have to put in maximum effort and I only have minimum energy rn

Yeah that's the other reason why I might as well stay up. Since it takes me so long to fall asleep w/out pills it is useless to waste time.

Maybe get a solid start on it (at least write an introduction) and then call it a night?

I wrote an intro luckily! Then I got stuck in the first body... so when I resume I'll still have a lot of work but maybe my brain will feel better tomorrow.

I personally find things easier to do on a fresh mind

If it was me I would just finish it asap so you no longer have to worry about it.
